Question description

They
enlist 2400 patients with the same type of benign tumor who have been on drug X
for varying lengths of time (measured in days). They find that the longer the
patient is on the drug, the smaller the patient’s tumor size (measured in
volume). In fact, they report the results as r (2398) = -.21, with significance
of p < .0001. What is your initial perception of this information? What are
other ways, beyond looking at the p-value alone, you could use to try to
interpret what this outcome of r (2398) = -.21 tells us about the relationship
between length of time taking drug X and the size of the tumor?
